OTH 7509 Professional Seminar
This course allows the occupational therapy student to integrate knowledge and techniques from clinical fieldwork, other assigned presentations/topics from other OT courses, discussions, and guest speakers. Students will critically think through clinical problems encountered during their student experience. They will evaluate and integrate the didactic and clinical material learned over the past two years and discuss how they will synthesize meaningful occupational therapy treatment in various settings, taking into account their unique needs and the individual clients' occupations while relying on high levels of evidence. This course, presented as a seminar, allows students to meet local and regional occupational therapy practitioners, employers, consumers, and other professionals who serve as advocates for the profession. This course examines topics such as ongoing professional development, advanced practice/specialty certifications, mentorship, leadership, and pursuing other career/educational options. Before completing this course, all students enrolled will be current members of at least one professional Occupational Therapy Association.
